What I learned in MIS

In my Management and Information Systems class this semester at the University of Windsor, I learned how important knowledge of these systems can be for a manager and how much of an advantage they can be.

If you know about the different programs involved, they can really help make your workload a lot lighter because of how powerful they are and the amount of work they actually do. Instead of trying to write a program in Excel to try to do something, you can just use these programs and most of that programming is already in there so it cuts out a lot of the work you have to do.

One disadvantage is because the programs are so immense and powerful, you really have to take a lot of time to be properly trained on the use of them so you can take full advantage of them. Knowing all the in's and out's of a program can really be helpful to make you more productive.

So, in conclusion, this class has really taught me a lot about different programs, especially Microsoft Access which can really be helpful in running a business. Because of this class, I've actually chosen Computer Science as a minor so that I can have a distinct advantage in that field over someone that might not have any computer training.
